DatabaseItemList replacement?

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I see that good old DatabaseItemList is now Legacy, and it doesn't work anymore with getSortByURL(), which was very useful in dashboard lists. What is the upgrade? Things seems to have moved to Concrete\Core\Search, but I see no DatabaseItemList.

It would be great with an example how to make a table with sortable columns with the new classes. Digging through code over and over is fun up to a point. ;)

I found out why it didn't work for me out of the box: In 5.6, ItemList::getSortByURL printed instead of returning the URL, which changed in 5.7. Adding an echo fixed it.

Still curious about "the new way", and looking a bit at the user list in dashboard, it seems that things have moved to underscore templates. Will this be the new way of making lists?

It would be nice with something that simplifies the whole process. It was a bit clunky before and I cannot say it looks easier now. Lots of php, html, js and css classes to make quite similar lists.
